Re: Honest Question to [English] Dub fans

I think Tenshinhan also calls him "Son" too. And I really don't see any problem with it. First off, calling someone by their first name in Japan usually means they're quite close. Considering Piccolo for the longest time was trying to kill Gokuu, why would he call him "Gokuu" as ...

Re: Ashy-kun's Song Translations

I'm currently working on both finishing "That Guy There is Son Gokuu" and doing a Red Ribbon double-feature (picture show- No, wait...). In the meantime, Mr. Link, you really have intrigued me with these song adaptations, like of my translations, that you say you've done. Perhaps you could...

Re: Abbreviating 'Super Saiyan'...

I'm surprised yet somewhat amused that the more frequent reason here seems to be that they don't want their precious SS Gokuu or SS Gohan being mistaken for a water-faring vessel, instead of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, super strong, superman/choujin/Übermensch referred to as an "SS" bein...

Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss

Japanese DB merchandise like toys, books, and video games have always used "android" as the translation for jinzou-ningen . There's simply nothing wrong with Funi using the term, as long as they don't change dialogue to imply that No.17 and 18 are fully mechanical or anything like that. A...

Re: Kai Episode 92 (6th February 2011)

I wouldn't mind Kai not being reanimated so much if the footage had been treated properly back in the day instead of having been done using the cheapest materials possible. Look at Card Captor Sakura, for example; they used high quality stock and animation materials, and as such, they could do an a...

Not to add fuel to the fire, but this is kinda why I just go with "Man-Made Being" for my all-over translation.

Re: Kai Episode 92 (6th February 2011)

Oh, God, that is good. My only complaint might be that the start of Gohan's scream is a little off. Then it gets good. But then I always have a hit-and-miss reaction to Nozawa nowadays, it seems.

Re: Kai Episode 92 (6th February 2011)

I have a feeling that I'm going to have to wade through a great many YouTube videos with dub score and voices imposed onto the scene, or predictions of how things would have gone, to find this scene for myself. That said, I do have little murmurs of doubt, with the preview for "An Unwavering Fi...

Re: Question about the pronunciation of Dragon ball

Since we're all talking about how we personally do things, I tend to use bold and italics to highlight words of a different language in my translations, when they're in the Japanese lyrics, and right them out in their standard spelling, as opposed to the phonetic Japanese. Though I do also sing it p...

Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss

I'm pretty sure in Japanese Gohan damn near always calls Gokuu "O-tou-san" and Chichi "O-kaa-san", i.e. pretty dern polite. Trunks, however, doesn't use the "O-" prefix, and just calls Vegeeta "Tou-san".

Well, on the Daizex site, there already is a translation by Mr. Grybowski, so I dunno if mine is really needed, but I guess I can post it up in my topic?

Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss

I also need to catch up with Kai's releases. I only just got the second volume (granted, as I'm in the UK and I had to import, I did have a month or so of waiting for shipping to take its finger out, but still...), and I need to try and get the third volume soon, too.

Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss

*blushes* Wouldn't that get a little distracting, if you're hearing the constant kiai at... Ahem... Critical moments? Would you really want to remember the moment with a Nozawa scream or Sabat scream, or perhaps worse (at least for my ears) a Nozawa "Kh-kh-kh" thing?

Re: Wolf Hurricane

*pout* I did say that I was susceptible to cute, and I can easily say that I find young Gokuu cute (if I'm looking at the right scenes and with an appopriate voice). I'm just saying I can't stand hearing the lil' guy sing.

But we're slightly going off-topic now.
